maybe jinhyeong's mother didn't abandon him physically, but she abandoned him emotionally.
and it's a proven thing that in a lot of cases emotional abuse experienced in childhood is harder to heal from, and in other cases it's just as harmful as physical abuse.
also, so done with ppl thinking just cuz you're rich you automatically have it better, whatever you're going through

They need to break up, heal, and then come back together

On top of their codependency, each have their own traumas, and Woowon now even have some fresh ones on top of his abandonment issues and low self-esteem. It was going alright at first and both occasionally showed signs of getting better (though, Seoan's obsession and distrust in Woowon's abilities to manage his own problems weren't good). But now everything is just bleak, Woowon harms Seoan, Seoan lets him which always ruins a relationship, and also by sacrificing himself, he ruins himself. Woowon harms himself too by harming Seoan but doesn't realize it. So, because they don't even know what's going on, they can't fix it, and so everything keeps getting worse. This is manhwa so some things might not be as realistic, but in real life they would need to break up for sure and each find a good therapist...

I don’t know how they are gonna make it. Both of them have never tried to help themselves while alone, what big difference will it make if they separate? I feel like they need each other, but they’re also functioning the wrong way in their relationship by glossing over and enabling SA, mixed signals, etc. There’s a lot of a nuances to consider, not really black and white—rape is still wrong nonetheless.
I think they know it’s toxic. I don’t know if author will involve therapy, many BL stories don’t have that but hope!

usually i agree with breanking up to heal then gettung back, though this time i think they need to heal but breaking up isnt the solution because the way i see it they're not the cause or what's stopping eachother from healing (example would be "lost in the clouds") the only thing stopping them from seeking help is themselves so even if they broke up they still wouldn't get help and would end up together lmao
Yk no one's at fault but their parents. these kids were doomed right from the start. their only hope was to start seeing a therapist but obv that couldn't happen. two halves can never make one whole
I hope they meet again as healed adults and hug and cry :(
